Carbon Nanotubes: Properties, Synthesis, and Application

  • Published:
Fibre Chemistry Aims and scope

This review describes features of the structure of carbon nanotubes, their principal characteristics, methods of synthesis, and regions of potential application. Most attention has been paid to the use of nanotubes in catalysis. Examples are given of the functionalization of nanotubes and also their use as catalysts, catalytic additives, and catalyst supports.
